> Why would their code matter? Far more important than the code is the paper ballot audit trail their machines produce.

Thank you!!! There are tons of people who have spent their entire lives thinking about computer voting. Their recommendations are almost uniformly:

1. Dear god no.

2. If so, paper trail.

Looking at the source code when there's an auditable paper trail is a huge idiotic red herring. And, there is an auditable paper trail.

> Okay, so they weren't permitted in until counting had been completed.

When they arrived at the front door they were told counting had already been completed. Not sure whether you misread that or are suggesting the security person was lying about what was happening inside.

> They were told to leave because counting was complete,

They were told counting was complete, they were not told to leave, and they do not claim they were told to leave. But I can't blame them for making that assumption.

> then when they came back (due to a tip, not an invitation)

Agree with you here, when the secretary of state's office called and told them to resume counting, some effort should have been made to get the observers back in.

But the only work done was scanning of ballots that had already been cleared, and it was all on camera, and all of the work they did while unobserved can be directly confirmed by recounts. So even though this happened, I don't see how it's evidence that the election was rigged.

> they were delayed at the door until all activities they wished to observe had ceased.

Having arrived at the front door after counting was finished, the one guard at the door stayed at the door instead of leaving his post, and he radioed someone else. The second person escorted them in, where they confirmed that yes, counting had ceased as they were told.

Is there a couple minute window in there where you could say "the second person took too long and was stalling to cover something?" Sure, allow me to flex my creative writing muscles to concoct a reverse-heist in which this could actually matter and have affected the election:

1) The (democratic leaning) Fulton County election officials shut down counting for the night and allowed observers to leave.

2) Observers having been cleared, they colluded with the (republican) secretary of state's office to arrange a cover to resume scanning ballots.

3) They then used the unobserved counting session as an excuse to unseal the boxes under the table of verified but uncounted ballots.

4) Having these containers of ballots open, they hacked the security cameras to cover their activities.

5) The footage we've seen was actually recorded in a replica of the ballot counting room that they built in a warehouse last October, and the people seen counting ballots on it are all actors.

6) With the cameras hijacked and no observers present, they introduce and count fake ballots that did not actually come from the previously observed and sealed boxes.

7) Steal election!

I don't have the full quality video recording or the forensic knowledge to analyze it, but as conspiracy theories go I don't find my scenario particularly compelling.

> This isn't getting any better!

If you say so.
I had a surprisingly violent reaction to this piece. I found it incredibly distasteful. And the reason is that these people are socializing decadently on the tax dollars of Americans and to a lesser extent the other countries of the world. I feel like they should not be working in quite that much luxury. And by the way, I feel very much the same about most American bureaucrats. They no longer seem to understand that they work for us. They seem to think we work for them, and their gigantic pensions and benefits tend to support that impression.
extremely interesting contention. i'll try to look into this more. it'd be lovely to be wrong.
Agree 100%. I see exactly the same thing. It's a recipe for lower back injury if form isn't good, and you really do need a bit of instruction to do it properly.

They can change it to closed source, and anyone can start a closed-source fork. The contributors I know wouldn't stick around after such an event, however.

If that's a problem for you, you could try VyOS (LGPL/GPL2/GPL3 mix) or dnxfirewall (AGPL3).
As someone said in the replies to this tweet, facts cannot be determined by the majority. The democratic aspect of this feature, where anyone can say why something is false, and others can say whether they agree with that counter-claim, seems bound to fail. It elevates the opinions of random people for no reason. If you wanted to disagree with a tweet, there was already the reply feature for that.

Facts and truth require trust in the institutions that claim to present them, because we cannot verify everything ourselves. I'm not really sure you can "crowdsource truth" as Twitter seems to be attempting here. It will just be whatever the most people who saw that tweet thought, and people who disagree with the report will just use it as more fuel to victimize themselves, regardless of whatever is actually true.
I'm disappointed dynamic rowers don't get more attention and love. I own a RowPerfect 3 and it is far superior in terms of motion and workout compared to any static rower. I've never really seen anyone learn good form that has either not been on the water or used a dynamic rower. Those who only have experience with static rowers really only learn to row poorly and then reinforce that poor form through repetition.
People need to stop with this US/China equivalence rubbish.

US is an open democracy albeit imperfect, independent judiciary, free press, free association, culture of openness and transparency. China has none of those.

That matters when you're asking which side to trust.
> GPL or bust.

GPL or its stronger copyleft counterpart, AGPL, can be later closed source too, afaik, at least under two scenarios:

1. Original developer owns all copyrights (CLAs).

2. There's no other contributor but the original developer.

MPLv2 and EPLv2 resist close sourcing the already open sourced bits to the same extent as xGPL, except xGPL is intrusively more viral than these two.

Also, I read somewhere that GPL lets one impose strange restrictions:

1. A vendor distributes binary of GPLd code to "X" (among other non GPLd things), and can impose upon "X" that if "X" does share vendor's GPL code without approval, "X" would breach contract (not necessarily of GPLd code, but of other non-GPLd things).

2. A vendor "rents" / "lends" binaries to "X", in which case the vendor doesn't have to share the binary's GPLd code.

IANAL.

Another option for an email relay service is the venerable Spamgourmet[0]. I'm a long time-user (a decade at least) and according to the site "Your message stats: 11,298 forwarded, 27,539 eaten. You have 172 spamgourmet address(es)." I haven't had too many problems with the service, mainly the problems are with third-parties that block the spamgourmet.com domain but there are alternate, more obscure domain names that can be used (such as @xoxy.net IIRC).

There are plusses and minuses to SG, but it's free as in beer and if your Perl and ops chops are in good shape the code is available for self-hosting. The hosted service does not support bringing your own domain but has other nifty features that might appeal to HN power users. Worth a look if you're in the market for this kind of thing.

The institutions were being emptied out because organizations like the ACLU brought cases to court to have them emptied.

People were being held against their will in conditions that were causing a stir in the media. It was regarded as a human rights issue that they not be confined unless there was no other option. Hence the shift to outpatient care in the community.

> Hypothetically, if OpnSense were based on Linux instead, the underlying GPLv2 would be attached. In that case, you could not relicense to a closed-source model because

Keep in mind, though, that Linux is only a kernel, so if someone's careful with their components they could build a Linux-based system where Linux was the only component under the GPL, in which case they'd only be obligated to share the kernel source to any user who asks. It would have a slightly unusual-looking userspace in order to avoid GPL components; musl libc, toybox instead of GNU coreutils, no BASH, etc., but this is basically what happened with Android.

(IANAL, of course)
> deprecate libtool..

I don't quite understand this. What if one uses something else than clang or gcc on the target system?
Even if that were true (and it's not completely true by the way) autotools is not used to build the kernel. You can very much use autotools to build modern software for older kernels. That's... kind of the point of using something like autotools.

Frankly reading this thread I think many people here bark at the wrong tree. If you don't care for portability don't bother with autotools, just write Makefiles. It's much simpler.

>Report the facts and leave the opinion to someone else.

Exactly. But that doesn't mean that journalists (or anyone else, as that's important in many non-journalistic contexts) don't or shouldn't have opinions.

Rather the goal should be to report the facts without bias.

That may sound like hair-splitting, but it isn't. We're humans and we all have opinions, biases and ideas of our own.

But when it comes to reporting news or just facts/results (e.g., revenue figures, safety/efficacy testing results, etc.) the idea is to consciously set aside those biases.

Some do that better than others, which prsents an arbitrage opportunity that allows those with no desire or intention to report honestly/factually to insert blatantly false and/or misleading information.

Quality reporting of news and fact doesn't require a lack of opinion or bias about the subject at hand. Rather it requires the desire, willingness and ability to set aside those things in support of trustworthy reporting.

There are many reasons why that arbitrage opportunity exists, but the existence of opinions on the part of those reporting isn't a major contributor, IMHO.

As the old saw goes, "opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one."

Stating that you expect to find something specific during discovery is sufficient for the purpose of stating a claim. The issue for most of the cases is that the Trump campaign lawyers were very careful not to include in their claims that they believed that fraud had occurred, because they did not actually believe this, and lying in a court filing is a serious crime. Asking for a trial so that you can avail yourself of discovery but not actually claiming any illegal things you expect discovery to uncover is commonly referred to as a "fishing expedition", and is never permitted.
1. EU is not being sanctioned for the Gazprom pipeline but rather EU companies which is a pretty important distinction.

2. EU does have major issues with China. They abhor it's substantial human rights abuses and geopolitical ambitions and have said on many occasions. Germany even has its navy warships on the way to the South China Sea for war gaming with APAC allies.

They are just willing to put all of that aside for better trading relations.

It's really a question of how many replicas you have, if you're running with sync rep or not, and what your DR story is like. We've tested it before a few times at previous employers and are exploring it rolling it out for Crunchy Bridge currently. The NVMe storage is really nice it's great performance and the price balance of it is good as well. But it does come with nuances... I wouldn't let a user provision without HA for example. In cases for a standard app without crazy uptime requirements having a standby or 2 is wasted cash. So it isn't for everyone, but can be for some people.

1. If a vendor distributes binary of GPLd code to "X", they can impose upon "X" that if "X" does distribute vendor's GPL code without approval, "X" would breach contract.

2. A vendor can "rent" / "lend" a binary to "X", in which case the vendor wouldn't have to share the code.

I hear you, but it seems neat that our ticker tape yields a meat bag that likes to send rockets to other hunks of rock in a giant cold vacuum (for example). Salamanders on a cosmic scale are probably difficult to distinguish from humans – just more bundles of cellular automata that share more in common than they don't, but the differences are fascinating from an earthly/human perspective.

I really wonder, too - does a dog care as much about a salamander as a human? How about a crow? Do crows think we're interesting at all? It's impossible to say.

Ultimately you're right though, we're just creatures trying to survive in various ways. Humans have very sophisticated ways of doing it, but they aren't inherently more amazing outside of the human lens.

I have read too many court documents over the last 10 years and I agree. Generally, you want to start out with your strongest statement.

In this case, the strong argument is very easily legally defensible. It was very clear in context why Rudy was not pleading fraud because it wasn't the point he was making at that time. That's the strongest argument?

So I wonder what exactly is the point of this lawsuit? I'm going to guess given:

* 1.3 billion
* Spicy, as you said

This is designed for news.

When Rudy asks for discovery, it will either be provided or not. I suspect Dominion does not want to take it that far because any good lawyer can make a case for whatever they want given what discovery they get. The fact of the matter is that a Dominion(? not sure if actually Dominion) machine in Michigan was found (in court) to basically make up numbers, had logs erased for 2020 but not 2016 and a whole whack of stuff that was suspect.

A good lawyer should be able to make a case that it is reasonable to assume the machines were defective if not outright fraudulent in that case.

Hesse is insanely good. I read almost all his books in the past year.

I want to re-read Siddhartha soon, after only like 8 months. I don't think it's really about Buddhism persay. Hesse uses it to get across some ideas. The main point was that Siddhartha realized the oneness of the world, in that each part is not a distinct entity - because that "distinct entity" is defined by it's relations to everything else. The realization brings him joy to consider himself not second class, but simply part of it all. Right?
